Sponsor Spotlight: Maggie McKenney Photography


So happy to introduce you to Maggie!  Take it away!

I am so happy to be guest posting on Kim's blog today~ The Sasse Life. I stumbled on her blog recently and have been hooked ever since!  She has been more than sweet & very patient with me...as I am a little challenged technically & not so savvy about the blogging world.Thank you Kim!~  :)  My name is Maggie McKenney and I am a photographer among many other things~   I am blessed with a wonderful life, happily married with three growing kids!  You can learn more about me on my blog and FB page.  ~ I am inspired and touched the most by people and their stories. YOU! I would not be able to create anything at all without the spirit of other artists out there who are willing to give and enjoy sharing~ . I like to share too.
UPSIDE DOWN
So, in the midst of stacked up edits that really need finishing and the kids now out of school, I have been working on my new "art " room with the help of my ever patient husband Mark. It was his idea after all, that I have my own room to bead and paint & create...I think he just wants all my junk in one spot! What started as a one room project has spilled into the hall, the foyer...hey, "let's just paint the whole house"...my words.....now the house is in "upside down"mode and it makes me feel a little out of control. ....I was tired of the yellow and change is good! Now we will need new carpets and a new sofa....it's a snowball effect~~
this is how we are spending the long holiday weekend. :)
how it all began


almost ready to stain the floor! thinking of a light grey with turquoise?  ideas???


 beer time....and a little Jackson Browne on Pandora~ nice! done for today....stay tuned !


unrelated but very related....considering how u look at life. I snapped this pic of my one and only calla lily this morning ....just perfect in everyway, it's swirling body of pinkness~
happy day to all :)



It's looking great, Maggie! Thanks for showing us all your hard work and beautiful photography.

Send Something Good

I have been waiting for this day for a while. So exciting to reveal all of this.

First, before I reveal who I had.

I was given Roopa from Bright Phosphenes. This was so much fun to get to know her on her blog. I had even more fun finding things that she might like.
(Sadly, the only picture I took was a really bad one so I'm borrowing one she took)

Honestly, just go stop by her blog and say hi. You can see all the details.


Now for my box.



Here was everything in it:
Prayer Magnet
Wallet
Peel Off Face Mask
Nut Roll Candy Bar
Paper Weight
Magnetic Hook

Loved all of it.

Just actually got done eating the candy bar :)

Thanks you so much!

I'm SO excited to introduce you to some AMAZING sponsors.  So go check out all these lovely ladies' blogs and get to know them! Don't miss out.  
P.S.  There might be a giveaway at the end of this post.


Hi! I'm Carly, a seventh grade Language Arts teacher turned SAHM to my son, Gunner. Texas Lovebirds started as a series of "Dear Peanut" letters to our unborn child and has now become a way for me to document our little life together. We'd love for you to join us on the ride! 


I'm just a girl in love with many things including God, my husband, reading novels, sewing, baking, couponing, graphic design, blogging and so much more!


When it comes to work and getting a project done I am a natural leader, confident, good at what I do and know I'm good at what I do. When I'm around family, I'm totally laid back, love to have fun, love to stay out late, going on random trips, love to just laugh. Now when I'm around people I don't know I am COMPLETE opposite, quiet, AND shy, but trying to work on that ;)

 Hi! I'm Mar, I used to be a veterinary technician, but now I'm a
full time stay at home mommy. My blog is all about my life, andb raising my daughter. Full of stories, concerns, and adorable photos of my little bean, readers can go through my thoughts and step into our life as attached parents. I refer to myself as crunchy, but not full granola, and my baby girl is a huge adventurer who's always laughing, and making me laugh right along with her. The recent TIME Magazine article created
huge debates between moms about attachment parenting, or not, my blog will help you see what a life as an attached family is really like. It's normal, I swear! So head over and take a look, if nothing else you can just stare at the cute pictures of my adorable bean!
